Cjs, that is the best dang suggestion I have heard in a long time. Funny you should bring it up though. the other day a couple of us cfd novices started asking questions here about using cfds and got no replys. I think the fact that I asked questions about 1 minute before the peter brock story didn't help.
I will be honest here. I have only ever bothered to trade in real shares. In fact it is only since I have been on HC that I have built up a picture of what cfds are and how they work.
